Meltemi Blu

My fiancée and I stayed at TUI BLUE Meltemi for a week at the end of September 2026 on half board, and it couldn't have gone better.

Location: The hotel sits right by Perissa's black-sand beach, with the village's bars and restaurants just a short walk away. Room: We had a swim-up room, and it was lovely: spotless, very spacious and everything you could want.

Food & drink: The buffet was excellent quality, with different dishes every night, all to a high standard. One evening, after a disappointing meal out, we came back and ate at the buffet instead, and we were really happy with it.

Pools, spa & beach: Our swim-up room came with its own private pool, which was peaceful and a real highlight.

Staff: The staff were amazing across the board and went out of their way to accommodate us throughout our stay, even preparing food specifically to suit my dietary requirements.

I especially want to thank George. Before the holiday, I called the hotel for help arranging a proposal on the beach. From the moment I got in touch, George went above and beyond, even giving up his own time to plan the perfect proposal, and he arranged a fireworks display for the moment too. Thanks to him, my now-fiancée and I had the best day of our lives. I can't thank him enough.

We'd recommend this hotel to anyone, and we hope to be back.

Just returned from our fifth visit to Tui Blue Meltemi and once again we are at a loss to explain how good our trip was and how much we enjoyed our visit. This hotel deserves more than 5 stars.

There is just such a special vibe and an air of tranquility about the hotel and you immediately feel relaxed when you walk into the hotel reception. Once again, it was great to see many old friends and meet some new ones. Absolutely everyone throughout the hotel greets you with a warm smile and a welcoming ‘Kalimera’. Truly, the most amazing professional, friendly and helpful staff; all staff throughout the hotel go the extra mile to ensure that you have the most enjoyable and relaxing holiday.

The hotel is such a beautiful building with great facilities. It is very well designed, well maintained, and spotlessly clean throughout. You rarely see the maintenance team (they must be at their work extremely early) but they do an excellent job. Similarly, the maid service is amazing; once again, our room was kept at a very high standard and was immaculate every day.

I have said it many times before, but feel it important to say it again, whilst the hotel itself is beautiful, it is the staff that make the hotel so special. Each and every staff member we came across throughout the different areas of the hotel are to be commended. There are far too many to mention by name (as no doubt I would forget someone!); but you know who you are, and we would like to thank each and every one of you for making our holiday so special.

To anyone considering this hotel for the future, one recommendation I would make is to take time to speak with the staff, they will make your holiday so much more memorable.

Guest Relations/Reception –The entire guest relations/reception team are always willing to help, should it be arranging a transfer, making a restaurant booking or even just for a friendly chat. We called up most days and just enjoyed sitting chatting with the team.

Buffet Restaurant –The food was gorgeous, many dishes to choose from, piping hot and always being replenished. Congratulations to the Chef, Dimitrius the restaurant manager (who by the way is also an excellent singer) and all the restaurant team for a top class dining experience. Thank you for looking after us in a very efficient and friendly manner. And what can I say about the desserts – WOW – I thought it would be rude to not sample them all. The downside of course is that none of my clothes now fit. If I could make special mention of Magda – she is a diamond, going about her work with the broadest of smiles.

Culinarium Restaurant - Yet again, this was just wonderful and the closest menu we will ever experience to a Michelin star restaurant – so, so tasty. Congratulations to Markos and team. Having watched Markos over the past 5 years, he is a real asset to the hotel.

Bar Staff – there is a vast selection of drinks and the cocktails are delicious. All served up by another great team under the expert leadership of Kostas. The laughs we had sitting at the bar and the nonsense we talked. To all the bar staff, thank you for keeping us hydrated throughout the day – a difficult task I know.

Grateful thanks to the Tui team who are also another hard-working and friendly team. Not forgetting the Spa – we really enjoyed the massages from a very professional team – I was very chilled after the experience.

It is safe to say we had the most wonderful, chilled and relaxing holiday. People ask me why we return to the same hotel and having returned home and taken time to reflect on our recent visit, I just cannot find the words to express how magical the whole holiday experience at Tui Blue Meltemi is.

The entire team will always have a very special place in our hearts, and whilst our hearts are heavy, this year we made many more happy memories, memories that will last a lifetime.

We look forward to once again walking into the reception and meeting dear family and friends.

It is never goodbye but ‘see you later’ or in my as you all know fluent Greek ‘τα λέμε ξανά’
